Call from Irish musician Pol Mac Adaim
Grup Yorum are a revolutionary band of musicians based mostly in Turkey. The songs they sing give hope and strength to the oppressed. Some of their members have been imprisoned by the Turkish regime and have subsequently went on hunger strike to protest against their imprisonment.
Today is the 264th day of death fast for Ibrahim Gökçek, as you can clearly see he is approaching death and desperately needs our support.
This is the report from those who visited him today:
He weighs 33 pounds, can’t walk anymore, needs to be cared for personal hygiene, swelling all over his body, lost hearing in his left ear, lost sensitivity from his fingers to his left shoulder, has wounds inside and out his mouth, he has dark purple color on his nails, can’t sleep from pain anymore, he said a few words this week.
I would appeal to everyone, Republican or otherwise to show solidarity and help raise awareness and to support this hunger strike in Turkey.
